CHARLOTTE, NC – September 9, 2013 – Curtiss-Wright Controls, Inc. today announced that it has been awarded an approximately $8 million follow-on production contract by Northrop Grumman Corporation (NYSE: NOC) to provide an upgraded Radar Signal Processing (RSP) solution for use in the U.S. Air Force Joint Surveillance and Target Attack Radar System (Joint STARS) program. The estimated value of this follow-on order over the lifetime of the program is $22 million. Under the contract, the award began in November, 2012. The program is expected to continue through 2015.

“We are very proud to have been selected by Northrop Grumman to supply our rugged embedded processing subsystem technology to support the Joint STARS aircraft’s advanced radar signal processing needs,” said Tom Quinly, President of Curtiss-Wright Controls. “This contract award reflects our success, including over three years of development and qualification testing, in significantly reducing the overall weight and size of the earlier RSP, while increasing system performance.”

About Joint STARS

Joint STARS is the premier airborne command, control, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (C2ISR) platform for the U.S. Air Force’s air-to-ground battle management and surveillance operations. The Air Force’s Radar Airborne Signal Processor (RASP) system performs the radar signal processing capabilities of the Joint STARS aircraft, enabling its ability to process data that results in the ability to locate targets. The contract is part of a larger upgrade to the RASP system used in Joint STARS.

The Curtiss-Wrights Controls Defense Solutions facility in Santa Clarita, California will design and manufacture the Radio Signal Processors. Upon completion, the RSPs will be shipped to Northrop Grumman in Melbourne, Florida.
